Thank you for a very honest breakdown. I have lived an equal amount of my life in both London and NJ, and am a citizen of US and UK, so visas aren't my problem. "Abroad" would be neither of the two, unfortunately.

I haven't worked in a consumer space startup before, so it may be wise to get some experience there.

It's pretty hard to gauge the culture of the new startup, as I've only met the CEO and videoconferenced with the rest of the team. While they're undeniably smart and focused, it remains to be seen if the support system and empathy will be on par.

Thanks for your thoughts and wishes.

Good luck. It's not a bad problem to have. Either way, the decision isn't irreversible. The same option may not be there in a year or two, but other options will be.
